Miles' Birthday Party

Hi Everyone. I tried to copy a street map for your perusal here but couldn't quite figure out how to do it. So I offer you this link instead:

The party is at my sister's house and the address is:

9222 N. Kimball
Pdx......97203

That should get you where you're going. We're starting at 11 and wrapping things up by 2. Short and sweet... I can't wait to see you all there!

Tina

PS...Call me if you have any questions...get lost looking for the house...or both: 971.222.6815

a few more photos

Here are a few more images from Miles' first snow and his first Christmas, when Miles got to hang out with his cousin Milah for the first time!







Miles!!!





Sorry for the lack of updates. Life is crazy around here! Miles will be one year old on March 4th...which is beyond hard to believe. Time has just flown. Every day he says more and more words. The current words in heavy rotation are Ball..Shoe...mama...dada...HI...I'm Tired...What's That...Where'd he/it go...byebye...Duck...(and the big one...) "WHAT'S THAT?" He points at everything a 100 times and asks what it is. Teaching a little person the names of everything is pretty profound. His curiousity is so big. Miles also learned to point to himself and say his name, which is really cool. He's also been known to say Grandma and his Auntie's name Angela (well, he says "Angie.")


Miles is also exploring the entire house (except for the office which is a lot like The Bermuda Triangle.) He moves along holding on to the wall or anything else he can get his hands on. when he has nothing to hold onto he drops down and crawls. He's taking many steps at a time on his own before sitting and is very close to walking more and more. It's so fun to watch his progression as he gets more and more confident of his abilities.


Miles is such a funny and happy little guy. He makes every day fun and has brought so much pure happiness into our lives. Last night Brian and I went out to dinner (Grandma babysat) and we found ourselves laughing and gushing about our little boy for most of the night. We also had to laugh as we spent a good ten minutes disscussing various Sesame Street characters and storylines. It's funny how much things change.


We're so blessed.
